Everything was super easy!

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Wedding

I rented this dress for one of my engagement parties and it was perfect. I normally wear a 4 or 6. I ended up wearing the 4, and probably could have even worn the 2. It was very comfortable and is much brighter in person. Great dress!

Graduation was the perfect occasion to rent a dress for. Many of my friends bought new ones, but I feel like I have enough dresses from sorority formals. Plus I didn't want to spend a few hundred dollars on a new dress. And my dad thinks that I picked the best colored dress to wear under my grad gown, which is always nice.

I usually wear between a 4 and 6 (depending on how my swimmer shoulders fit in it). Unfortunately when I ordered this, they didn't have a 4 for me to rent with it, so I rented a 2 and a 6. The 2 was only snug around my arms, but the 6 was a little loose on me. I still loved the dress, but I'd definitely stick to your normal size. It also looked fantastic underneath my black graduation robes, even though it did get a little hot. All in all, I'd definitely recommend this dress.

I am so sad because these are the only two pictures I got in this dress. These pictures do not do the dress justice. It was a nice yellow and fit perfect!!

I wore this dress for a rehearsal dinner and got so many compliments on it! It was a brighter yellow in person. It was really comfortable too!! I would recommend to anyone!! I normally wear a 4 but I could wear a 2 in this dress.

Fabulous dress!

I normally try to stay away from yellow (I am very fair and have blonde hair) but I absolutely loved this dress! The cut and style was so amazing. I felt really comfortable in it the whole day. People kept asking me if they wanted to trade dresses because they liked it so much! This dress would be a perfect dress to wear for either day or night because it is so versatile. A must rent!

Feeling comfortable and pretty.

I wore this to a casual, small wedding. I am very curvy on my bottom half, so this shape worked perfectly for me. The top half is form fitting. I am short waisted and so is this dress. The lace fabric is beautiful. Loved the pockets too. I got many compliments on the dress from strangers on the street.

Great dress for a wedding!

Love love dresses with pockets! No spanx necessary. Great to dance in and very comfortable.
Ordered the 6 and 8, although, the difference in the size was barely noticeable, the 6 fit a bit better.
Necklace was a RTR as well.

I loved that I rented dresses I wouldn't normally buy and had fun not playing safe!

This dress fit perfectly! This was my first experience with Rent the Runway and I couldn't be happier. I was a bridesmaid in my best friend's wedding. She chose mismatched yellow dresses for her bridesmaids; and have to admit I was nervous leading up to the wedding having not tried the dress! I flew in from Hong Kong, had the dresses on my doorstep, and couldn't have been happier. I rented 3 to be safe, and one of the other bridesmaid's ditched a dress she had planned months in advance to wear one of my other rentals! I rented 4 dresses for four events throughout this wedding week; and spent less on all rentals combined than I would have on one purchase! I was stunned and happy with everything!

I loved looking good for my fiance's graduation!

I'm a huge Shoshana fan, and this dress was no exception. It was a true size 4 with a perfect fit at my natural waist. The chest was a little bit tight, so if you're between sizes because of your bust I'd suggest sizing up.

The fit was just right. I ordered 8 and 10 and surprisingly I didn't even need the 10.

The dress was comfortable and easy to dance in. It's a perfect dress to wear to prom. I wore this dress to my junior prom and got soo many compliments. Also, the fabric of the dress is really pretty.
The only problem was that the zipper was really weird and sometimes hard to handle; even when I wasn't wearing the dress. But overall, I love the dress.

Made for a perfect bridesmaid dress!

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

I was a bridesmaid in a January wedding and the bride had the wedding party select our own yellow dresses (very cool of her). I rented this dress in a size 6 as well as the Anna Sui Pinwheel dress in a 4 and 6. This was my backup dress but I liked the fit and color much better in person and it ended up working wonderfully for the wedding. The color was brighter than I expected. Sometimes baby doll dresses have too much fabric and feel almost heavy, but I felt very comfortable in this dress. I loved the pockets and was able to stow lip gloss, Chapstick and tissues during the ceremony. I would say that the fit was true to size but it was a little tight in the bust for me (I am a 34DD). I wore a minimized bra which made the fit a little more forgiving. This would be a great style for someone who wants to conceal large hips or show off a small waist or toned arms. It was also a great backdrop for a statement necklace. Highly recommend! Would also be great for graduation or showers

I got so many compliments in my perfect little yellow dress!

The biggest selling point for me on this dress is that it has pockets! I absolutely love a dress that has pockets because then you're not constantly holding your camera or running back and forth to grab it. I normally wear a 4 but sized up because while the 4 fit well overall it was a bit tight in the chest area. The yellow lace was perfect for the summer wedding. The reception was split outdoors and indoors so this dress was light enough for the hot summer weather. I paired it with the RJ Graziano Turquoise Necklace which was a perfect accompaniment and added a great pop of color to an already great dress. The one con of the dress was that the lace did snag on a few things when I walked by them, such as handles, someone else's dress and bracelet. Overall this is a great dress and perfect for a summer wedding.

Perfect for an outdoor party!

This dress is amazing! It fit perfectly and was great for my backyard couples shower. I got tons of compliments. The fabric has a little bit of stretch so it was very flattering on my bust and then loose over my hips. Its the perfect dress for a wedding event or outdoor party!

A classic dress that could be paired with any accessory!

I owe RTR a HUGE one! The day before the wedding I arrived at the hotel to find out I had accidentally scheduled a different dress to arrive the following weekend. I also found this out about 2 minutes before the last package could go out but the staff stayed on the line with me, helped pick out a dress I'd be comfortable in and got it to me in record time! I loved the color and fit and honestly think I lucked out getting this dress instead of the original.

Worn this for my engagement party.

Turned out great, maybe a little shorter then i would have liked but you can tell from the model its short. I got plenty of compliments anyways :) Was a very well made dress, great quality. Defiantly helped make my Engagement Party memorable!

Perfect dressed down for a brunch or dressed up for a day time wedding

I rented this dress for a brunch and LOVED it. The material does not offer much of a give so definitely get a back up size just in case. Adding a necklace/earrings with color will definitely make this pop but the detail in the dress makes it outstanding on its own. Got so many compliments!

Comfortable Preppy Dress, Gorgeous Color!

I think the dress looks better in person than it does in the model picture, it has cleaner lines and isn't as poufy as it seems online. This dress was so comfortable to wear, very light and breathable, and perfect for a Kentucky Derby party. Another great rental from RTR!

Perfect for a day wedding!

I attended a wedding at 3pm and this dress was amazing! It fit me perfectly even though I was originally worried about the length since I am 5'10". This comfortable, stylish dress also gave me plenty of room to dance the night away. Highly recommend to anybody for a summer wedding/event.

Beautiful Vineyard Wedding

Wore the dress for a late afternoon/evening wedding at a vineyard with a simple string of pearls. Dress fit incredibly well! Loved the lightweight feel to the dress (stayed cool in 100+ degree temps) and the fun lace.

Here's another example of RTR's amazing customer service. The day before I'm expecting my dresses to arrive, I get a phone call telling me the previous renter had damaged the size 8 cosmic gardens dress I had ordered. The customer service rep hand picked not one other size 8 dress for me, but THREE other dresses for me to try on for the wedding I attended. I ended up choosing this dress since the fit was great, the material was light weight and comfortable, and the color was perfect for a summer wedding.

cute, but not comfy

This is a very cute dress BUT the arm holes are ridiculously tight!! I am a 36B, and I did wear a bra.but the top is very tight and the arms are extremely tight as well. I am a true 6 in dresses and I thought the length was great (Im 5'7") and everything else was fine. The pockets are great too! My only complaints are the tightness of the top half of the dress and the collar was extremely itchy too. Was a bit disappointed in this dress just because I was very uncomfortable.

Didn't end up wearing dress :(

I wanted to love this dress and was so disappointed that it didn't work. This style of dress normally fits me, but the waist hit too high, making the skirt very short with the size 0. The size 2 was too big overall. With the short skirt and pastel yellow color I felt that it was very "little girl" looking. Not what I was expecting!

Great dress for country wedding!

I wore this dress to my cousin's wedding in Iowa. It was a bit shorter than anticipated (about 7 inches above my knees), but the zero fit much better in the torso than the two. Shoshanna dresses are my favorite dresses from RTR, because they are comfortable and flattering. There are pockets and clips in the shoulders to hold your bra in place. It was a very playful dress that was easy to move around and great for dancing!

Cute and got lots of compliments!

If anything it fit a little small. I'm between a 0 and a 2 and the 0 fit but was a little too short for the rehearsal dinner I was attending. The 2 was great and i got lots of compliments on the dress. Went well with gold.

Bummed I couldn't wear it.

Size worn: 12

Unfortunately, I was not able to wear this dress. It was a little tight across the chest. I have a really long torso, so the waist of the dress sat unnaturally high on me. Very cute dress for the right body though!

I rented this dress for my sister's bridal shower at our church. I ordered the 10 and the 12 because some of the reviews said it ran big. I didn't think so and ended up wearing the 12. However, I am extremely big busted and that is where the fit actually matters. The length and style was appropriate, yet still made me look like a 24 year old and not an old maid. I got so many compliments on this dress! I will say the yellow isn't as bright as I thought it would be.
